tcp: restrict net.ipv4.tcp_adv_win_scale (#20312)
tcp_win_from_space() does the following:
if (sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale <= 0)
return space >> (-sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale);
else
return space - (space >> sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale);
"space" is int.
As per C99 6.5.7 (3) shifting int for 32 or more bits is
undefined behaviour.
Indeed, if sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale is exactly 32,
space >> 32 equals space and function returns 0.
Which means we busyloop in tcp_fixup_rcvbuf().
Restrict net.ipv4.tcp_adv_win_scale to [-31, 31].
Fix https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20312
Steps to reproduce:
echo 32 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_adv_win_scale
wget www.kernel.org
